Clamperl (Japanese: パールル Pearlulu) is a Water-type Pokémon.

It evolves into Huntail when traded holding a Deep Sea Tooth or into Gorebyss when traded holding a Deep Sea Scale.

Biology

Clamperl is an aquatic Pokémon that makes its home on the seafloor. Its bivalve shell is dark blue with a silver rim along the inner edges. The shell is used to clamp down on prey, as well as for protection. A fully-grown shell will have nicks and scratches all over. Inside of the shell is a fragile, light blue body composed of six spherical extensions with a pink, pearl-like head in the center. There is a circular white patch on each cheek. The pearls produced by this Pokémon amplify psychic power, and may be blue as seen in the anime. When it is close to evolution, Clamperl will become too big to fit inside its shell.

Trivia

  • Clamperl shares its category with Shellder and Cloyster. They are all known as the Bivalve Pokémon.
  • Clamperl is the only Pokémon that evolves by trade holding one of two different items.
  • Clamperl loses the most weight of any evolving Pokémon when it evolves to Gorebyss, losing 29.9 kilograms.

Origin

Clamperl is possibly based on an oyster or a giant clam. Clamperl's appearance and its evolutions suggest that it could also be based on roe.

Name origin

Clamperl is a combination of clamp or clam and pearl.

Pearlulu is a combination of pearl and lulu (slang for someone or something that is exceptional or remarkable). It may also involve لؤلؤ lulu (Arabic for pearl).
